About the tides at Makena

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Kahului, Kahului Harbor, Maui Island. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.3 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.1 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.2 ft on August 1 and bottom out at −0.4 ft on December 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Kahului, Kahului Harbor, Maui Island, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Kuheia Bay, 11 mi away. For tidal currents, see Alalakeiki Channel.

Predictions are based on Kahului, Kahului Harbor, Maui Island.
